Press Vultures
—R. Umar Abbasi, freelance photographer who shot the image of “DOOMED” New Yorker Ki Suk Han, whose imminent subway death ran on the front page of the New York Post. In New York Times interview, “After Fatal Subway Shove, Asking: Were There No Heroes?” Dec. 4, 2012
“The Post cover treatment neatly embodies everything people hate and suspect about the news media business: not only are journalists bystanders, moral and ethical eunuchs who don’t intervene when danger or evil presents itself, but perhaps they secretly root for its culmination.”
—David Carr, media critic, “Train Wreck: The New York Post’s Subway Cover,” The New York Times, Dec. 5, 2012
